A strong voice right to Offa's Dyke, a voice for both non Welsh speakers and Welsh speakers alike and one that sees Montgomeryshire like a Celtic knot tying the rest of Wales together rather than be seen as a gap between North and South.”

Cllr Vaughan comes from a extensive farming family and as well as a Powys

He added: “The work of such charities is of importance to me, because politics at the end of the day is about making things better within our communities, in implementing your values in a positive way.”

“It'll be my privilege, with your support to do that, I ask all those with a commonality of mind and values to join with me in making the change in Montgomeryshire.”
